Red Magic Daylily

Hemerocallis 'Red Magic'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Liliaceae
Plant Description: A consistent display of burnt red blossoms with bright yellow throats that drip a thin strip of color down the middle of each petal. The flowers sit on bare stems. Each blossom lasts for a single day, but new blooms appear all summer long as is normal to the daylily family. The foliage is linear, long, and blade-like, gracefully arching up and over towards the ground.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
